SENATOR DEFENDS FRANCE
NO SYMPATHY FOR GERMANY.
WASHINGTON. 27th January.
The Senate spent the day in a debate on the French invasion of the Ruhr. Senator Reed, of Pennsylvania, who is the only member of the Senate who served as a soldier in France, made an impassioned speech defending the French and asking the United .States not to forget its Allies; particularly France and Belgium, and deolared that America was. forgetting her own dead when.she began, to waste sympathy on Germany,! simply because France levied executions, .for the reparation due to her. Senator Owen condemned the seizure of the Ruhr, which, he .said, might, alienate the world's confidence and re; spect for France, and declared that the responsibility for war lay with the Kaiser and his entourage, not the 'German^ people. Germans unborn would; ha,ve to pay the reparations. Senator Oddis confirmed what Senator Heed ssio., and Senator Harrison sided with Senator Owen.
